Gatley is a friendly village-style suburb a few minutes south of our Didsbury office, with older cottages around the village centre and streets of 1930s semis and bungalows. It is a popular place for families, and plenty of them want more room without leaving the area.
Gatley semis respond particularly well to a single-storey rear extension and a hip-to-gable loft conversion. Together they can add a family kitchen and a large extra bedroom, transforming the house without moving.

Planning permission in Gatley
Gatley is covered by Stockport Council. Most semis keep their permitted development rights, so 3 metre rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions often go ahead without a planning application. We recommend a Lawful Development Certificate for peace of mind when you come to sell.
Read our guides to extensions without planning permission and loft conversion planning rules for more detail.
